CNN turns up a cache that raise questions about Gingrich's claim's regarding his divorce

5. I can see how asking for a divorce and filing for divorce are different things.

If he was cheating maybe she didn't want him to be able to get remarried after all. Perfectly plausible.

On edit: yes she probably uttered the words "I want a divorce" before he did especially since he was cheating on her.

Compare Newt’s three marriages to the Obama’s happy marriage. As Dougherty notes, “Newt Gingrich cheated on his first wife with the woman who would become his second, and then cheated on her with the woman who became his third wife. He was leading the impeachment of Clinton, while diddling his Congressional aide. And now he makes little documentaries about God. In these films he wears tailored suits, not sackcloth and ashes.”
